Not to us, Lord

Thank you, Builders, for your active participation in the ministry of Greenhouse through praying, giving, and promoting.

During the month of March, we invite you to pray about Flourish ‘25 our new spring fundraiser on April 28. Please pray that many who are not familiar with Greenhouse will accept invitations to attend. Please pray that our keynote speaker Dr. Michael Lindsay (President of Taylor University) and other presenters will encourage and inspire people, and cause them to consider supporting Greenhouse financially and in prayer. Pray that all the preparations will lead to an evening that truly celebrates the work of God.

Let us echo the prayer of the psalmist.

Psalm 115:1, 14-15 (NIV)

Not to us, Lord, not to us

but to your name be the glory,

because of your love and faithfulness.

May the Lord cause you to flourish,

both you and your children.

May you be blessed by the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

Are there ways in which you subtly or blatantly seek to appropriate God’s glory for yourself? In contrast, ponder how God has demonstrated His love and faithfulness…throughout the Scriptures, in history, and within your lifetime. Consider how your own attempts to flourish compare with the flourishing which the Lord causes. Invite the blessing of the One who made heaven and earth to cause you, and your family, as well as Greenhouse, to truly flourish at this time.
